2019 Honda CRV Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation
Question:
I have two recommendations for hitches and wiring harness for the 2019 Honda crv ex I am about to purchase. Which is best and why? 1. Draw Tite class III #76128 Hitch Tekonsha T-one #118741 wire harness. VS 2. etrailer.com hitch #E98848 wiring kit. ZCI kit part #119250kit

First let's start with the hitch for your 2019 Honda CR-V... for that the etrailer hitch part # E98848 is the way to go as it has a concealed crosstube which means it will be mostly out of plainsight. It's also made in the USA unlike the Draw Tite which also has a visible crosstube which makes it stick out a bit more. See picture.
For trailer wiring you'd then want the Tekonsha kit part # 118741 as it installs very easily. The ZCI kit is great but it requires you to test the wiring of your vehicle which will be a bit more tedious.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
